Fast readout: linear to 65k DNCTE Vertical direction: 0.999998
Horizontal direction: 0.999996Notes Both Left and Right amplifiers are used.
Detector is actually a 4kx2k device, but one quarter of the detector
is non-functional, but that region is outside the illuminated area. Linearity Plot for Slow Readout
